Love twists and turns, men are more injured?
When the relationship between men and women is in crisis, women are more likely to confide their sadness and depression to their friends, while men are more likely to hide their sadness and pretend to be indifferent outside, which will have a series of adverse effects on their mental health. Robin Simon, a professor at Wake Forest University in the United States who led the implementation of the study, admitted that she was surprised by the results of the study because it was widely believed that women were more vulnerable in roller coaster relationships.
She said: "Surprisingly, we found that boys are more sensitive to the relationship between them and their girlfriend." That is to say, the harmful pressure brought by the ups and downs of love has a greater impact on men's mental health. The researchers also found that the positive effect of dating on men's emotions is far more beneficial than that of women. This is also in contradiction with the traditional view. People usually think that the happy time in love will not have any impact on the man who has few desires.
Few men can talk to
One reason may be that, under normal circumstances, there are too few objects for boys to confide in - except for the other half in love. In contrast, girls are more likely to have close relationships with family and friends. The red light in love may also make men feel bad and endanger their sense of identity and self-worth. Another reason is that men and women express sadness in different ways. Simon said: "When women are sad, they will be very depressed, while when men are sad, they try to use drugs to relieve depression."
This is part of a long-term survey of the mental health of young men and women and their psychological changes during the transition to adulthood. The researchers also found that the emotions of young men are more susceptible to the quality of their current love relationship, while the emotions of young women are more susceptible to the impact of their current romantic love.
